Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu helps teen get prom date

He’s not playing in the NBA playoffs, but Mohamed Sanu came through with a big assist last week.

According to a report by CBS New York, the veteran Falcons wide receiver helped a New Jersey teen get a prom date by recording a message for the young man, who is apparently a huge fan of Sanu’s and the team.

Brianna Stoohs from Mahwah had Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu record a video asking her boyfriend Sam Darrow to go to the prom with her. ‘Hey Sam, this is Mohamed Sanu. . . And I think you should go to prom with Brianna. You better say yes.’

Darrow (who also got an autographed ball from Sanu) took his advice and the two will attend prom together on June 1.
